Wasn't sure if I was ready to make the switch to electric, but happy I did so far! First impression was that the mower is lightweight. I can maneuver and turn the mower easily. It doesn't take much strength to push. Second, the fastest setting on the self-propulsion is fast! I get the job done quickly. Third and maybe the best part about electric...I don't smell like exhaust fumes after a mow. Feels like I just took a walk in my yard, but don't feel like I need to immediately shower afterwards! Just a small complaint is the I find it a little difficult pulling the mower backwards. I don't have to do that very often, but when there's no room to turn, pulling back the mower feels like I'm going against the mechanics or something.
All in all, switching to electric was an amazing choice. Quicker and easier mows!
Thank you so much for delivering what you promised in this mower. I got mine yesterday and used it. The self-propelled feature is stout. The batteries quickly charged and ran like a charm. Keep it coming, Greenworks! Congrats on a job well done!
So far, cut my lawn four times, both bagging and mulching. Mower preformed well. I got 45 minutes of mowing in with power to spare. I like the simplicity of it. The controls for cutting and propelling are easy to use. The noise level is lower than my old gas mower. I like how it stores vertically. And of course no gas or oil to mess with. The charger charges both batteries at the same time which is a nice feature too.
If you’re looking for a battery powered mower, this is a great choice. The 25” wheel base is awesome, you can cut your yard a lot faster which is definitely worth the extra $. The self propelled rear wheels are very responsive, and it stops very quickly when you release the throttle. It folds nicely for storage as well!
